If you’ve read the piece above, this week has been about getting the old apartment ready for settlement and handing over my keys. After 7 years of being there, I was a bit nostalgic seeing it go. After all, it was the place I moved to when I just finished my speciality training, lived through […]
It’s been a few days since coming back home and most of that time has been on catching up on emails and fighting jetlag. I thought I was doing pretty well given that I slept and woke up on relatively normal times on the first day. But the next night, I couldn’t get to sleep […]
After nearly 2 weeks of almost constant travel in Europe that while I love exploring new places, it need to be with a certain pattern that I’m calling the travel cadence. In the past, I’d spend 3 or 4 days somewhere and pack most days with exploring 1-3 attractions or museums and have 1 rushed […]
Ola from Barcelona! It’s essentially the last few days of this vacation and I’ve really enjoyed ending on a slower pace that’s given me a chance to reflect and “smell the roses”. On the note of reflecting, it’s our 1st wedding anniversary today and I can’t believe the year has flown by! It’ll be off […]
Ola (or hello) from Lisbon, Portugal! It was a hectic 48 hours before and after getting here, hence apologies for the late newsletter! It’s been spectacular weather here so far and a fairly chilled out day given we arrived on their Freedom Day holiday. The last week I was looking forward to the trip but […]
It’s the last week of Ramadan and I’ve barely started to edit any videos or do anything on the charity project. Every year, I try to raise money for the less fortunate in our community who are sleeping rough by making regular videos throughout Ramadan. This year, I simply haven’t had the time to do […]
Busy weeks seem to be the norm over here, so I’ll stop calling them “busy” unless it’s exceptionally so. This week was more…chaotic. Well, the last 2 weeks I should say. It’s been the season for weddings like last Sunday, followed by work and general lethargy that comes from Ramadan. This week was a bit […]
If you’re reading this, then you made it to the end of the email I presume. Thanks for reading all the way! You’re awesome! It’s been one of those things that’s been on the cards for a while: changing to a new email provider. The last one was awesome, but lately I found that I […]
*Apologies in advance – this was written over several sittings when I got a chance at work and may feel a bit disjointed* I’m writing this with about 25 mins to go before I break fast but I am (as always) stuck at work. Today was meant to be an easier day but alas a […]
It finally happened! We moved the last thing from the old apartment to the new. It was a bit of a bittersweet moment since the other place has been home for nearly 7 years and after all that I might not be in it anymore. Already it feels foreign given the staging and the lack […]
